In life, don’t worry about the future. In life, don’t worry about things that don’t concern us. In life, don’t worry about things between heaven and earth.: Zen! "

Video Overview

The video begins with a letter about portfolio allocation. The writer is continuing to invest in an index fund, also holds a higher-volatility position, and asks whether the two should undergo broad periodic rebalancing. A second question asks whether a dividend-focused fund should be added now in preparation for retirement. Based on the circumstances in the letter, the speaker proposes an allocation that includes index exposure, the higher-volatility position, and bonds so that money remains available during a market decline. He distinguishes broad rebalancing from adjusting only gains in one position. For retirement, he argues against moving into the dividend-focused fund now and would reconsider the change closer to retirement. He closes by connecting the allocation discussion to a broader personal principle: focus on what can be handled now instead of worrying in advance about distant, unrelated, or uncontrollable matters. All allocation, rebalancing, and timing judgments are his personal views.
